I don't know about that. I received some negative comments recently for asking for evidence that wearing a mask, while outdoors, while socially distanced was ever effective.

People still have their egos and identities attached to this, seeing disagreement as a personal or political attack.

I know the phrase gets overused but that would be a prime example of virtue signaling.

I had people on here saying some pretty nasty things to me for suggesting that while social distancing is good, having a mask on when outside and more than 6 ft apart is unnecessary.

I wonder if they realize how they're proving all the "virtue signaling" critics right.

The Google play store managers and/or their bosses probably have their hands deep in it. It'd be interesting to see what a real investigation into this produces.

A large portion of our society thinks so:

Many people see BLM as a conduit for the redistribution of power and wealth towards minorities and thus communist.

As stated elsewhere, by asking the question you’re assuming the point is to have a rational argument on consistent beliefs - but it isn’t. It’s to gaslight and misdirect for political gain.

There is a difference between having unpopular opinions and advocating for violently overthrowing our government.

> I always wonder why executives earn so much money when there is no responsibility on them when things go wrong.

The word you are looking for is "oligarchy".

The underlying counterargument was that it was never completely "your stuff" to begin with.

The underlying counterargument is that tax dodging is a form of violence against the poor.

Is the act of doing some drugs enough to ruin your life? The wealthy do drugs all the time. I'm willing to bet the majority of our politicians have done "illegal drugs" during their adult lives.

Why the double standard?
